Muj'ga Pitaw is a unifying project that aims to protect the Cascapedia and Petite Cascapedia rivers and their main tributaries in order to preserve their biodiversity, as well as the Mi'gmaq culture and way of life.
The Gesgapegiag First Nation seeks a harmonious relationship with neighbouring Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, one that respects the cultural, political and linguistic rights of each community. To this end, the First Nation is working with local stakeholders to gather their comments on the protected area.
Last July, Gesgapegiag submitted Muj'ga Pitaw to the Quebec government for possible recognition on the protected areas register. Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk and W8banaki First Nations also proposed protected area projects that highlight the leading role they intend to play and the importance of their contribution to land conservation. These projects could contribute to achieving the international conservation targets set by the provincial and federal governments, 30% by 2030, and Muj’ga Pitaw could become one of the first Aboriginal-led Protected Areas (ALPAs) in Quebec.
